Mike McAlpine who is the head of the Hudak recall effort joins us to talk about the recall and her recent resignation. After that Trevor Furlotte and Matthew McLatchy of Slam Fire Radio drop by. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Every year you get a multitude of Thanksgiving greeting sating something schmaltzy and wrapping up with “Happy Thanksgiving!” Rather than do that this year I thought I would do this a little more long form.

First, I am thankful that we still live in the freest country on the planet. While things are not prefect here, we have it a lot better than most of the rest of the world. To be in poverty in America is nothing like being in poverty in the rest of the world. If you are in poverty here you likely live in a single family dwelling, and a single family is in that dwelling. In that dwelling there is running water, heat, electricity and even cable TV.

Next, I am thankful that we have men and women who protect and defend this country it is said that less than 10 percent of the US population has ever sworn the oath to defend our nation. I am grateful for those that have. They truly are the reason we remain.

On a more personal level I want to thank the listeners to our show. I started the show back on February of 2011 hoping to help to make a difference. I knew politics. I have been a political junkie for as long as I have been able to understand the process. I thought I may be able to find a few that agreed with me and reach a few here and there. What has happened to the show over the last almost 2 years has been amazing, and humbling.

I want to thank those that have come on board to help with the show, both past and present. Each one has brought their own personality and flair to the show. Raquel, Toby, Mick, Brian, Tom (Sticks), and Rob have all been huge helps with the show and it would have remained a tiny show with a few dozen listeners if they had not helped it grow.

Thanks also goes to the sponsors of the show. Last fall the show was growing, but financial problems were creeping up and I had to make a decision, sell advertising or shut the show down. Not only did the advertisers step up big time, listeners responded in a big way as well.

On a closing note I want to pull back the curtain and give thanks to a few people in my personal life. My kids are amazing, even though they are all grown, and are now giving Susan and I grandchildren. I have found that once they become adults my job as a father isn’t done, but only takes on a different perspective. It’s a good thing I enjoyed the job to start with.

Finally I am thankful for my beautiful wife Susan. We haven’t had a perfect marriage. There have been bends and twists and rocks aplenty in our road, but earlier this year she said after all our problems and issues that she still loved me enough to say “I do” again. I truly would be lost without her and my life would be a total and complete mess.

I have so many blessings to be thankful for this year, I only hope your list of blessings is as rich and fulfilling as mine is to me.

Topic 1- Catch up with each participant

Do the right thing in Ohio and you may end up in jail with your weapon confiscated. An Ohio man will finally get his legally-owned pistol back nine months after police confiscated it following his controversial arrest in February. He was never convicted of any crimes and his arrest occurred after he called police to report a potential crime in progress. The city of Cleveland reportedly agreed this week to settle the federal lawsuit filed by Derrick Washington over what he says was the illegal seizure of his .38-caliber handgun. Police had refused to return his gun even after a city prosecutor refused to press charges due to a lack of evidence.

We have some friends in the San Francisco PD. Gun rights advocates challenged a newly signed San Francisco law that bans ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds and gives owners 90 days to hand them over to police. The San Francisco Veteran Police Officers Association, represented by attorneys from the National Rifle Association, filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the ammunition limit signed Nov. 8 by San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, a Democrat. (More here)

“There are lots of bad guys and gangs out there with guns coming out of their ears,” said plaintiff Larry Barsetti, who retired in 2003 after 32 years with the San Francisco Police Department. “What leads people to believe if you put law-abiding citizens at a disadvantage by limiting their magazine rounds, that somehow that makes them safer?”

Chris sent this in to the show’s Facebook page, and we have been seeing it pop up all over the place. Police are still trying to piece together the events of Monday night after a woman was attacked and then fired shots into the crowd of teens that assaulted her. Beulah Montgomery, who just turned 60 yesterday, says she was walking home after purchasing lottery tickets when she says a group of teens, 7 of them, approached her. Montgomery initally thought they were going to attempt to steal her purse but says she was instead hit by one of the individuals as a second attempted to hit her. That’s when she grabbed her gun.

“All I could feel was pain and I said to myself I had made it to 60 and I wanted to at least see 61,” she recalled. “Then I started praying and I asked the Lord to guide my hands” Montgomery says she then reached into her purse and and shot in the direction of the teens and they started to flee. However two of them didn’t make without being hit.

Second DGU- Lexington [KY] police say a would-be robber was foiled Friday afternoon when he was shot by the owner of the Marathon Food Mart. The shooting was self-defense, and the owner was not charged, said Lt. Mark Brand. Brand did not release the identity of the owner or the man who was shot. The injured man was taken to University of Chandler Hospital, and will be in police custody… The owner of Marathon is protected under the castle doctrine, which says a person is not obligated to retreat from somebody breaking into their home or vehicle. The 2006 law says someone is entitled to use deadly force if they “had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred.” It also applies if a person is attacked in a public place “where he or she has a right to be.” Roberts said self-defense situations aren’t rare and are seen when people are trying to protect themselves or their property…

From Michael
Paul,
I found your comments on Derringer type pistols to be spot on. In the stressful event of a lethal force self defense encounter I would much rather have a weapon that has a higher capacity than two rounds. In addition, the manual of arms required to operated this type of firearm is cumbersome under the best of conditions. Every Derringer type pistol I have encountered requires the hammer to manually cocked followed by a very hard trigger pull to discharge the firearm. This complexity would only be compounded in a stressful situation. This is just my opinion so take it for what it is worth.
Thank you for producing one of my favorite podcast.
Respectfully,

Rob: From the Modesto Bee- A good DGU in California.Albert Anthony Liberini was shot by two homeowners protecting their children. He was arrested last July in a Modesto public park for possession of drug paraphernalia, possessing a pipe bomb and for giving false names to law enforcement. This time, Liberini eluded police in a car stolen in Modesto earlier in the day. The police chased the stolen car into Riverbank before breaking off the pursuit. Police believe that Liberini then drove into the country and broke into the home.

The homeowner said, “We didn’t know if the intruder had a gun or what. It never crossed my mind that I might get shot. But I would have taken a bullet as long as he didn’t get through me to the children.”

DGU #3
Paul: News from the Seattle area- Police said the intruder drove up the driveway at a high rate of speed, broke through a steel gate, mangling it, and then crashed into a car parked in the driveway at 11PM. The driver then went to the house, pounded on the door, broke some glass and forced his way in. The 67 year old homeowner was punched several times as he fought with the intruder. At some point, the homeowner was able to reach for his gun and shot the man three or four times, killing him, deputies said. Deputies said the intruder never said anything to the homeowner as he was breaking in and fighting with him.

Comment off the website:
Paul : Gentlemen,
The FN FAL is spectacular weapon originating in Belgium in the mid 50’s. 7.62 NATO, robustly built, accurate and wildly popular with NATO countries, with exception of the US. Basically what everyone else in NATO used instead of the M14. My military friends from Britain, Africa and Middle East love this gun like many of us older folks love the M14. Also known as the L1A1 in some variants. The one I have has had the trigger worked over, a compensator type flash suppressor and a very handy folding carrying handle roughly in the center on top. Not a light weapon. Mine has never failed to operate or misfed in any way. Get on board fellas! These are supremely excellent firearms!

In the last podcast, Sticks mentioned that he is armed from the time he gets up til he goes to bed& so did you, but what about packing in bed?? You have handled my “pillow buddy”, only two shots, but my 1911 is within reach. You all talk about your semi-auto’s& revolvers, but I don’t hear any podcasts talk about the pro’s & con’s of the derringers, I like my “little” Bond Arms Snake Slayer.

Paul:I want to talk about Dick…. Metcalf. Yes he has a first amendment right, but it isn’t better than mine, or anyone elses. Dick was the technical editor at “Guns and Ammo” magazine. He posted a discussion asking how the right of self-defense should be limited. Dick wanted to find the line between regulation and infringement. That sounded too much like “reasonable common sense restrictions to promote gun safety” to the readers of Guns and Ammo. Bob Mayne podcasts at Hand Gun World, but funds the show with his own money. Bob can say anything he wants. So can Dick Metcalf, but we don’t have to pay for it.

Rob: Another reason to leave California- The California Supreme Court refused to hear CalGun’s challenge to a county regulation which banned firearms in parks.. even for those licensed to carry a firearm. What can I say.

Rob: A slight ray of hope for the left coast- California Gun Control Advocate Senator Ronald S. Calderon was stripped of committee assignments on Tuesday. Calderon is under federal investigation for taking 88 thousand dollars in bribes. The Senator is a Democrat from Montebello and also lost a leadership post with the Legislature’s Latino Caucus. Claderon is against civilian self-defense and supported several of last years the anti-gun bills.

Tom: Yet we have good news from North Carolina- Concealed handguns will now be allowed on playgrounds in Asheville. At Tuesday night’s city council meeting, members voted to amend an ordinance that prohibits concealed and carry permit holders from bringing their firearms to all city parks. Members say they had to go against their beliefs on the issue because they had to comply with state legislation passed earlier this year. The ordinance now allows permit holders to have their guns on playgrounds, green-ways, bike trails and athletic fields that do not have a scheduled event taking place. Good work by the pro-gun group Grass Roots North Carolina.

Rob: Where is a woman likely to be attacked? Yeah, when she runs in a park!

Tom: More NC news- A controversial gun law took effect on October 1. It lets people with concealed permits carry their handgun into bars and restaurants that serve alcohol…as long as they don’t drink any. Owners of restaurants and bars that don’t want guns in their business must post a sign. And those who have posted signs have drawn the ire of the gun-rights group Grass Roots North Carolina. GRNC is listing on its website restaurants that post these no guns signs. The group doesn’t want gun owners to patronize these restaurants. But don’t call it a boycott, says GRNC president Paul Valone…

Paul :From our friends over at JPFO, MAIG loses another member!
Oro Valley Mayor Satish Hiremath resigned from an organization of mayors who oppose illegal firearms under pressure from a gun-ownership-rights group that called for him to make the move. Hiremath joined Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), a group with 1,000 mayors in 46 states, more than a year ago. He announced Nov. 6 in an email to the Star that he had resigned.
“I am aware of the efforts of members of Arizona’s criminal justice community and our state Legislature, and I support their direction. It is apparent that MAIG differs from the focus of our state leaders, which is consistent with my views,” Hiremath wrote in the email.

Rob: DGU1- A pizza delivery driver drew his gun to stop an armed robbery. Police arrested three suspects accused of robbing a pizza delivery driver of chicken wings Tuesday night in Donora [PA]. According to police, the incident was reported just before 10 p.m. on Short Street. Hal Perry, who works for Italian Pizza Village in Belle Vernon, told police he was approached by three men who demanded money… Perry told detectives that one of the men searched his pants pockets and one searched the vehicle for money. He said the men took off with the chicken wings, valued at almost $18, when he pulled out a gun. “I didn’t know if (the one searching me) had a knife so I took a couple steps back, bent over and drew my weapon. As soon as they saw that, they took off running. As they left they threw something. It turned out to be a pellet gun.

Tom: DGU2- Police say a woman in her 60s shot and killed a man in his 20s early Thursday morning. Homicide detectives are still investigating a shooting death at a home in the city’s east side near East 68th Street and The Paseo [Kansas City MO]… According to police, a woman in her 60s answered a knock at her door and a man who she didn’t know asked for someone the woman had never heard of. When she told him he had the wrong house, the man reportedly forced his way inside. Once inside, the woman told police the man sexually assaulted her. After the attack, police said the woman claimed the man started to leave the room and she was able to get a hold of a gun she had and shoot the intruder. Police released the woman while they continue to investigate. It will be up to prosecutors to decide if she will face charges.

Paul: DGU #3- Relatives of an armed robber are upset with the good samaritan who stopped a robbery in progress. Here is some background. Adric White was busy robbing a Family Dollar Store in Mobile Alabama. White ordered the store clerk to kneen on the ground while White pointed his gun at the store clerk’s head. That is when a good samaritan told White not to move, but the robber turned and pointed his firearm at the good samaritan. That was when the samaritan shot White. Mobile Police also arrested 19-year-old Tavoris Moss as an accomplice to the robbery.

White’s family says the samaritan should have walked away since the robbery didn’t concern him. White was out on bond for a previous armed robbery of the Oyster House restaurant. The mother of the clerk held at gunpoint in the Oyster House robbery said this time White got what he deserved. The samaritan had his concealed carry permit for the last four years.

“They now own a piece of equipment that has tracking capabilities so we think that they should be going to City Council and presenting a protocol for the whole network that says they won’t be using it for surveillance purposes,” said Jamela Debelak of the American Civil Liberties Union.

A spokesperson for Seattle Police said the network is not being used right now. A draft policy is being reviewed by the city attorney’s office and will eventually go before the City Council.

At this point I would like to run the audio that Greg sent in a few weeks ago that should have aired then.

For those of you who are long time listeners you know that about this time last year I was on the verge of shutting the show down. I had run out of money to make this hit the air and needed to find another way to get this paid for or shut it down. One by one some FANTASTIC people and companies stepped up and have kept the show coming to you.

Another bit of thanks needs to go to you, the listeners, when the sponsors came aboard you responded BIG TIME. That is why they are still here and the show still comes to you twice a week. Just a gentle reminder, when doing business with one of the sponsors of the show, please let them know that you appreciate them participating and keeping the show coming to you.

The counterexample is that Oakland California increased their gun regulations, and armed robberies increased 24 percent from last year. Even TV news crews bring their own armed security when they go on the bay area stories. I doubt the bay area citizens are smart enough to make the connection.

I can’t believe you’re letting a Canadian win. I like Stycks idea of sending a bag of dog pooh but I think that would fail. As slow as Canadian Mail is, there would be no stench when it arrived. send him a chocolate shaped 1911. Then he can say he’s open carrying while he eats it.

Defensive Gun Use:
From My Fox Phoenix dot com
PHOENIX (AP) — Authorities say a homeowner in north Phoenix has shot a suspected burglar. Phoenix police haven’t released the name of the 44-year-old suspect yet, but say he’s hospitalized in critical condition.
The unidentified homeowner isn’t expected to be charged in Friday afternoon’s shooting. Police say the suspect jumped a fence and tried to get in the home about 3:30 p.m. He was stopped by the homeowner, who shot him several times. The suspect ran off and police believe there was a woman waiting nearby to pick him up. Police later got a call from a Phoenix-area hospital saying the suspect had been brought in for treatment.
They say charges are pending against the suspect if he survives.

Rob lists new articles from his website https://slowfacts.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/your-feelings-about-guns/
Accidental gun deaths are a fraction of a percent of all accidental deaths. What about guns used to kill on purpose? Self-defense homicides are also a fraction of a percent of all intentional deaths. That means our gun laws are ineffective because the laws only apply to the fraction of a fraction of a percent of the homicides committed by us honest gun owners. And WE are not the problem. Even if it makes you feel better, hating us won’t solve the other 99 percent of the problem.

Some people feel guns are bad and they feel better if they hate gun owners. I beg you to keep things in perspective if you hate guns. Most gun haters claim guns are an accident waiting to happen. I guess so, but walking down the street is an accident waiting to happen also. Let me show it to you. Drunk drivers are a far bigger risk than guns.

People who fear and hate firearms say guns are only used by bad people. I need to remind you that good people use all kinds of tools to protect and save others. In fact, the first thing we do is call a good man with a gun when trouble happens to those we love. For all the laws we pass to restrict honest gun owners, they are not the source of violence in our society. Licensed carry holders are the most law abiding of citizens.

A sheriff and DA got it right, but one Alabama police chief got it wrong. A hard nosed chief took the law into his own hands and arrested a licensed concealed carry holder. Fortunately, the Bibb County DA’s office indicated no interest in prosecuting the concealed carry holder named Clay Winguard. The story goes downhill as only a southern police chief can take it. The chief asked the school board to ban Winguard from all school property. http://www.examiner.com/article/alabama-s-new-gun-law-tested-and-justice-prevails

Maryland Man Shoots Home Intruder: Charged With Murder
“Why didn’t you call 911?” This is the only argument the State of Maryland has against Matthew Pinkerton. Matt is a Technical Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. He shot and killed a home intruder by the name of Kendall Green, just before his wife reached 911.

Also, the prosecution has the burden of proof that the shooting was NOT self-defense. So far the prosecutor is either hoping for a plea deal under threat of an expensive trial or hoping for a gullible jury.

I Hope She’s Right about the First Part: Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Sunday she wants to renew her efforts to pass gun-control legislation in light of the Los Angeles airport shooting but that her bill would not stand a chance of passage because of opposition from the gun rights lobby. “I think there is a hammer lock on the Congress by the gun owners and gun people, and it doesn’t matter,” the California Democrat told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Feinstein said the gun used in the attack Friday that killed a TSA worker was not designed for use by the general public, but for military and police personnel only. However, the Smith & Wesson .223-caliber rifle used by the attacker is widely distributed and one of the most popular firearms among gun owners in the U.S. Feinstein, who authored the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013, said she did not know if the weapon had already been outlawed in her state. (For someone who is trying to Californicate the rest of the nation, you’d think that Feinstein would know that such rifles – unless mildly encumbered with the “bullet-button” magazine release – are already banned in her home state, along with the magazine designed to hold more than ten rounds.) http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/feinstein-gun-control-los-angeles/2013/11/03/id/534501

My friend Dave Cole wrote about the sad history of disarming our military men and women on base. To disarm our warriors is wrong. Our military bases are another example of the mythical “gun free zone”. Dave’s article is at Gun Rights Magazine.com http://gunrightsmagazine.com/warriors-disarmed/

Rob: I was listening to an old episode of “gun talk”. The host, Tom Grisham, said that how much he likes a gun comes down to the part he touches… the trigger! Amen to that. Trigger, accuracy and reliability. I don’t care if the outside looks like rusted crap. I was also thinking of Toby’s gun problem with his wife Melissa. He wants sustained fire at a distance. Toby, that is what a partner is for. Dude, you don’t need more gun, you need more friends! How about a couple Ruger Scout rifles and learning some teamwork?
